We owe a debt of gratitude to the wise and caring women and men whose words appear on this site, and we acknowledge their wonderful contributions to the lives of so many of us.  To the Kellers and the Emersons and the Gandhis and so many others who have given us so much:  thank you.

We'd love to hear from you--we appreciate all kinds of feedback.  Drop us a note at infoatlivinglifefully.com (replace the letters "at" with the @ symbol).

Hello, and welcome!
     Thank you for dropping by--we really do appreciate your presence.
     Living Life Fully™
is dedicated to presenting the wisdom of the ages, especially the wisdom that's specifically focused on getting the most out of life and being happy.  It's based on the belief that if we can learn from those who have come before us and have shared their knowledge, our lives can be richer, more exciting, and fuller.  Take your time, visit a page or two and find something you like, then come back later for something else--there's definitely no hurry, and no need to see it all at once.
     The main thing, though, is to enjoy.  If you'll be back, we'll see you soon.  If not, please make yours an extraordinary life!

We'd like to announce the start of Living Life Fully Publications!  We're trying to take advantage of the print-on-demand technology that will allow us to make available to you many works that are inspiring and uplifting--you can see the first works that we've made available by clicking here; over the course of the next few months we hope to bring to you many more inspiring and uplifting works! 

   

I accept life unconditionally. Life holds so much--
so much to be happy about always. 
Most people ask for happiness on condition. 
Happiness can be felt only if you don't set conditions.

Artur Rubinstein

   

We've just started a motivational bookstore in collaboration with Amazon,

positive material that we can--it will be growing all the time!

Living Life Fully is all about learning -- learning about life, love,
relationships, human beings, helping, giving, hope, beauty,
and so much more;  learning about despair and sorrow and
negative thoughts and arrogance and many other things that bring
us down.  So many people have given so much to the world
in the form of insights and observations, and we want to share
those insights with you in the hope that they'll help you
to learn to lead a happy, healthy, fulfilling life on your own
unique, individual terms.
  

   

  

Perhaps the rediscovery of our humanity, and the potential
of the human spirit which we have read about in legends
of older civilizations, or in accounts of solitary mystics, or in
tales of science fiction writers -- perhaps this will constitute the
true revolution of the future.  The new frontier lies not beyond
the planets but within each one of us.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau

Let us live, while we are alive!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

   

  

  

When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
Until the spirit of love for our fellow people, regardless of race, color or creed, shall fill the world,
making real in our lives and our deeds that actuality of human brother and sisterhood--
until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility
for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.

Helen Keller

  

Three Cavaliers
Tom Walsh

Alone in his car heading west, it's easy for Jason to feel sorry for himself and mad at the world.  But then he gives a ride to Hector and learns life isn't as negative as we sometimes see it.  The friendship between this young man and his 70-year-old passenger is an inspiring story of love and of dealing with obstacles in life.  It's a story that you'll treasure long after you're finished reading.

Three Cavaliers is now available in book form!

Most of our backgrounds come from Enchanted backgrounds, a great site with a beautiful selection.  Thanks, Terri!

Few of us, indeed, realize the wonderful privilege of living; the blessings we inherit, the glories and the beauties of the universe, which is our own if we choose to have it so; the extent to which we can make ourselves what we wish to be; or the power we possess of securing peace, of triumphing over pain and sorrow.

John Lubbock

  
   

The hardest thing to believe when you're young
is that people will fight to stay in a rut,
but not to get out of one.

Ellen Glasgow

  

  

A bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note,
a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings,
an empty scent bottle for the children. . . .
Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?
